Ahmedabad, June 27 : Two civil society organisations approached the Gujarat High Court on Tuesday in a bid to seek justice for eight to ten Muslims who were reportedly subjected to a brutal public flogging by the Junagadh Police.
Expressing lack of faith in the Gujarat Home Department, the Lok Adhikar Sangh and the Minority Coordination Committee filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) highlighting multiple instances of custodial violence perpetrated by the Junagadh Police in the Saurashtra region.
Clashes between the locals and the police were reported on June 16 following demolition notices issued by the Junagadh Municipal Corporation for alleged encroachments on public roads by five Islamic structures.
